​ GUÍAS DE SEGURIDAD

Safety guides are non-compulsory technical documents in which the Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) provides guidance for compliance with nuclear safety and radiation protection legislation. Their purpose is to guide readers about and facilitate the application of the legislation pertaining to them. Because compliance with guides is not compulsory, they can apply methods and solutions other than the recommended ones, as long as these are well grounded.

Like instructions, safety guides are prepared in a process that includes a phase inviting outside comments, thus allowing the public and other institutions to participate.
